    Licensing FAQ

    Common questions about how Duodata licensing works.

    No. Only editors pay. Editors are the people who create and maintain metric definitions, slices, and releases. Viewers (anyone who reads or consumes definitions) are included at no extra cost. See pricing plans for details.

    A viewer is anyone who accesses Duodata to read metric definitions, browse the catalog, or consume metrics in downstream tools. Viewers do not create or edit definitions, so they are included free with every Pro and Enterprise plan.

    Editor seats are usually held by data analysts, analytics engineers, data product managers, or anyone responsible for defining, maintaining, or publishing metric logic. Most teams need only a handful of editors.

    Yes. Business owners and executives can be assigned as metric owners for governance and accountability without ever logging in. Ownership is a metadata attribute, not a login requirement.

    Pro plans are billed per editor seat with no minimum. Most teams start with 2-5 editors and add seats as their metrics practice grows. Book a demo to discuss what works for your team.

    Business users benefit from consistent, governed metrics surfaced in their BI tools, AI assistants, and reports. They consume the output without needing to access Duodata directly. Learn more about our approach.

    Reviewing and commenting is a viewer activity. As long as they are not creating or editing definitions, they do not need a paid editor seat.

    No. Duodata is a business-approved metrics layer. It focuses on metric definitions, ownership, lifecycle, and governance, not on cataloging tables and columns. It complements your existing catalog by providing the business-approved metric context. See our documentation for technical details.
